West Des Moines Water Slides and Rides: Summer Fun May Hurt

West Des Moines Tailbone (Coccyx) Pain

What more fun is there on a hot, West Des Moines summer
day than to enjoy a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most
all of us can all relate to that! Some West Des Moines folks will do the
sliding and riding, and some will watch.
Which is safer? Watching! Water
slides and rides may go from fun to pain if the tailbone gets injured.
And it does! A new research study makes
clear that water ride related tailbone pain is not reported
in the medical writings before, but Executive Chiropractic of Iowa knows it’s found in this West Des Moines chiropractic practice’s
patient population. The tailbone is formally called
the coccyx, the lowest section of the spine, and tailbone injury may result in coccygeal
instability and pain. (1) Just as with the rest of the spine, the
coccyx has discs and dorsal root ganglia, too. DRG stimulation eases
pain and increases function without any additional
problems for patients with chronic coccydynia (coccyx pain). (2) Usual care
of coccyx pain is physical therapy and medication
treatment. Adding manipulation reduced pain and disability for
chronic coccydynia patients (who occasionally experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in
just 3 treatments. (3) If West Des Moines summer’s
water fun hurts you, go to your West Des Moines
chiropractor! Executive Chiropractic of Iowa’s gentle manipulation may calm the
coccyx’s discs and DRGs and relieve your West Des Moines tailbone
pain.
